The Bravest Voices
A Memoir of Two Sisters’ Heroism during the Nazi era
by Ida Cook
This timeless memoir documents two sisters’ bravery leading up to WWII—a singular
historical account that shines a light on one of humanity’s darkest hours.
Ida and Louise Cook are two ordinary Englishwomen, seemingly destined never to
stray from their quiet London suburb and comfortable jobs—Ida as a budding romance
novelist and Louise as a civil service typist. But in 1923, a chance hearing of an
aria from Madame Butterfly sparked a passion for opera in the sisters that led to the
formation of friendships with some of Europe’s leading singers and their network, many
of them Jewish. As the Nazis rose to power, Ida and Louise began working with the
opera world’s insiders to save members of the community from persecution and death.
Through ingenuity, thrift and bottomless goodwill, the sisters eluded the suspicion of
the Nazis and helped secure safe passage for dozens of refugees. No one would have
predicted such daring lives for Ida and Louise Cook—but that underestimation is exactly
how they were able to save lives.

Kiwi Success Stories in the Time of Covid
By david downs Joe davis
The Covid-19 lockdown in New Zealand caused fear, hardship and loss. Through this time
of unprecedented national hardship, however, there emerged incredible stories of hope
and optimism. Businesses innovated and found new ways to create value, communities
came together in new ways online, and families reconnected through time spent together.
This book is a collection of those stories from across Aotearoa.
The book was the brainchild of the well-known business Nanogirl Labs, which lost a
full 18-month work calendar over a few days before the Covid-19 Level 4 lockdown.
Founders Joe Davis and Michelle Dickinson (Nanogirl) could have closed their doors
and headed home. Instead, they made a choice to change direction and four days later
launched a brand-new, entirely online learning program for families. They tripled their
staff headcount as the lockdown loomed, took on new premises, built a full production
studio and went to market. They now have thousands of subscribers across 76 countries
around the world, and are growing fast.

Liftoff
elon Musk and the desperate early days That Launched
Spacex
By eric Berger
The dramatic inside story of the first four historic flights that launched SpaceX-and Elon Muskfrom
a shaky startup into the world’s leading edge rocket company. SpaceX has enjoyed a
miraculous decade. Less than 20 years after its founding, it boasts the largest constellation
of commercial satellites in orbit, has pioneered reusable rockets, and in 2020 became
the first private company to launch human beings into orbit. Half a century after the space
race SpaceX is pushing forward into the cosmos, laying the foundation for our exploration
of other worlds. But before it became one of the most powerful players in the aerospace
industry, SpaceX was a fledgling startup, scrambling to develop a single workable rocket
before the money ran dry. The engineering challenge was immense; numerous other private
companies had failed similar attempts. And even if SpaceX succeeded, they would then
have to compete for government contracts with titans such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing,
who had tens of thousands of employees and tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue.
Her Say
Survivors of domestic Abuse Tell Their Own Stories
By Jackie Clark
In 2013, Jackie Clark launched The Aunties, a grassroots charity helping women to
rebuild their lives after a period of trauma. She quit her job, turning her back on her
comfortable life, to focus on The Aunties full-time, becoming Aunty in Charge and
assisting hundreds of women with material needs and emotional support. Jackie has
long dreamed of a publication that gives these women a voice. This powerful new book
features the stories of a number of very different New Zealand women, told their way.
The collected stories chart their narrators’ lives and personal histories, through the lens
of having lived with - and escaped - an abusive relationship. Her Say is spoken from
the heart, uncompromising but offering hope, redemption, personal triumph. It’s a book
for all women, showing how owning our stories gives us the power to write daring
new endings. It will challenge, illuminate, and empower readers - not to mention the
storytellers themselves.
